    Giroud scored another beauty as well.

    Weird he seems more inclined to actually shoot when playing for France.

    Exactly right and I'd add Wilshere to that list two. Both players needed a summer of rest as they've been struggling all season.

    Interesting first half in the opening game Brazil v Croatia.

    Croatia looking confident on the ball, but I still expect Brazil to nick it.

    And what has little Lucy done to his lovely locks <laugh>

    Been a good match for the opening game. Brazil going for it and Croatia trying to catch them on the counter.

    Shocker of a referee. Croatia were robbed.

    Hate **** refereeing with a passion. Brazil did not play like a team that will win the World Cup and frankly I don't think they will

    Brazil given a goal and Croatia robbed of a goal by an inept refereeing team

    Croatia looked more like scoring in the second half. 2 lucky bobblers and a joke penalty... Brazil wont be playing against that keeper in every game though

    the Brazilian diving and rolling around and demanding yellow cards was a complete joke...it's like they have 11 ashlel youngs on the pitch...and as for the ref!

    I will admit Oscar played well but I wasn't impressed with Brazil otherwise

    But like I said. Brazil don't look particularly impressive.

    I think they will struggle against a decent counter attacking side.

    I've already seen what I expected from Brazil and Spain. No doubt Argentina will win a dodgy penalty next to complete the trinity
